No two barrels of bourbon are the same. Their placement in the warehouse, every change in the weather and every day of aging shapes their distinctive notes and flavors. So while most bourbons are made by batching multiple barrels together to create a consistent flavor. Baker's takes a different approach - no batching, no mixing, just one uncompromised barrel per bottle.
Booker Noe loved Bourbon. He loved the craft of it, the character of it, the 'pour me another one and tell me a story' of it. He loved what it could mean and all the things it could be. But most of all he loved the way it tasted. In Basil Hayden he created the kind of whiskey he loved; spicy yet smooth, both rich and sweet. A high-rye Kentucky straight bourbon with a refined flavour profile that rewards a second glass. So, in true Kentucky style, let's get straight to the good stuff.
The distinctive taste of Bell's comes from bringing together a select blend of grain and fine malt whiskies, all matured in selected oak casks for a richer flavour. Gathered from whisky heartlands to include flavours like smoky sea salt of the Islands and the fresh sweet malts of Speyside. Then expertly blended with Blair Athol's own rich, spiced and nutty malt to create Bell's distinctive blend.
Blended then aged for 12 years in oak barrels, this has a full yet smooth character with hints of spice and vanilla. Canadian Club Classic's quality is exemplified in the winning of a double-gold medal at the prestigious 2003 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

A great malt which Jim Murray awarded 95 points in his Whisky Bible, this is excellent value for money. The flavours are simple, but flawless, a clean, crisp 15 year old from the Dalwhinnie distillery, also part of Diageo's Classic Malts range.
